My Sweet Little Girl

I haven't done a post just about Maddy in awhile. She turned 17 mo. at the end of August. It is crazy how the time has flown by. Sometimes I can't believe it because she is so small. Anyway here are somethings that she's been doing lately, etc.
This morning she figured out how to take her diaper cover off. Oh joy. I've also been trying to let her use a spoon and feed herself a little bit. I'm sure you can imagine the mess that's been.
She is pulling up a lot. Here she is chasing the letter Z over the side of the tub. Should I let her stand up in the tub you ask? Well...........
This was at my parents house. She loves putting things where they go. Glasses on faces, lids on jars, puzzle pieces in puzzles, etc. She still loves books and loves watching Baby Einstein videos while she's in her stander. She is starting to say a lot of words and she definitely knows what you are saying about almost everything. Here are some words she likes to say: dogs, flowers, ice (she loves eating ice and will ask for it anytime she sees anyone drinking something), kiki (kitty), ish (fish), booo (this means moo for cow), quack quack (for duck), eyes, bouf (mouth. she points to nose when you ask her but doesn't say it yet), baba (for bottle), ice (rice in this case), dada and mom. She likes giving high fives, blowing kisses, playing with the tupperware in the cabinet while mom cooks, pulling books off shelves, pulling everything out of the diaper bag, giving the dogs their treats in the morning, and she loves it when people come to the house to visit. She still isn't crawling but we keep working on it. She also likes brushing her teeth. She will try to comb her own hair and she likes putting on her shoes and taking them off, but she doesn't really like wearing shoes.
I won't go on, but just wanted to take a minute to write down some stuff she's been doing mostly so I can have it to look back at. The best thing about Maddy is that she smiles and is happy and content almost all the time.

She must talk a lot more at home than around strangers! That's a ton of words! She's definately got her own little personality!

I love her more and more every day. I sure miss her when we are separated by the long miles between Dallas and CS. She is a sweet heart.

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her...

Fall-The Best Season of All

 I love fall! I used to be a bigger fan of summer when we lived in Colorado but I have always liked fall and it has definitely risen to the top of my favorite season list since moving to Dallas. Fall means that I actually can go outside and enjoy being outside again. That is especially a relief after this summer. It is so great to be able to take Maddy on a walk in the middle of the day if I want to....and it's a great way to get her to take a nap without a big wrestling match. Fall also means the Texas State Fair, which means all the fried food you can eat, fun with family, and lots of fun animal shows to entertain the two kids--I mean the kid and the kid at heart when it comes to animals.. I usually spend some of the fall season missing the crisp air a beautiful changing colors in Colorado, but this year we actually got to go back to visit Aaron's family for fall break so we got to have a little taste of that as well. Here are some great pictures from our fair ...
